What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product

1. We begin with the pick up at your hotel, hostel, accommodation or whatever your location is between 6:00 am and 7:30 am in an air-conditioned transport; we will pick up other travelers as well. You must be patient because traffic is sometime a problem. We will enjoy a panoramic tour of approximately 45 minutes through the beautiful city of Cartagena until we reach the Barú Peninsula.
2. We will pass through the Baru bridge without stopping where we will find the Corles del Rosario and San Bernardo National Natural Park. The Barú Peninsula (sometimes called Isla de Barú or simply Barú), is separated from the territory by the Canal del Dique. Until 2014 the only way to cross it was by raft, or its variants. It was in that year when the so-called "Baru Bridge" was inaugurated. (Barú is an artificial island that was formed almost 100 years ago by the construction of the Canal del Dique. The three towns on the island are Ararca, Santa Ana and Barú).

Excellent experience. There was a delay before the beginning of the trip due to a problem with the bus that had to be replaced, but it was not a big deal compared to the trip itself. The staff was nice and friendly (unfortunately they couldn't speak English or Portuguese) they tried their best to please everyone. The aviary was magnificent with a huge variety of birds of all kinds (typical of Latin America and Colombia), arriving at the beach we got courtesy drinks and a nice place to stay. The beach club had lockers, so that we could keep our stuff, the meal was really good. I really recommend their services!My tour included a welcome drink, lunch up to 25 pesos, a water, cup of fruit and the Aviary tour. The van to pick me up arrived abour 20 minutes late. No big deal.

My tour included a welcome drink, lunch up to 25 pesos, a water, cup of fruit and the Aviary tour. The van to pick me up arrived abour 20 minutes late. No big deal. It took a us about 45 minutes to reach the beach. We only went to Playa Baru, not play Blanca. Not sure why the advertise both. I recommend you bring extra money for the cabanas 60,000 pesos and the better lunch options that cost more than 25 000 pesos. The beach was nice and so was the restaurant. The prices are high and vendors will harass you every minute yo buy their products so be aware. Especially the massage ladies, charging up to 240,000 pesos for a massage. Always ask for the price upfront. We arrived at the beach around 8am. I left around 10am to go to the Aviary. It was an amazing experience. So many birds including parrots, toucans, peacocks, ducks and emus. We left and arrived back at the beach around 1130am. They offered me a water that was included in the tour I paid for around 1pm and we were set to leave at 2pm. My suggestion is that if it's included offered it at the beginning especially on a hot beach day. The tour guide had a good command of English. Overall pleasant experience!Please avoid all tour operators that offer trips to Baru and the surrounding beachs. I was brought to an area that offered beach, food and drinks. The people that operate on the beach are ripping off tourists. They are over charging tourists by hundreds of dollars. The tour guides obviously know ...
Please avoid all tour operators that offer trips to Baru and the surrounding beachs. I was brought to an area that offered beach, food and drinks. The people that operate on the beach are ripping off tourists. They are over charging tourists by hundreds of dollars. The tour guides obviously know and aren't doing anything about it. Please stay in Cartagena and avoid the tours at all cost. Beers are $20 usd and a can of soda $10 usd. You have to pay or they won't let you leave.Excelente recorrido 😁 el guia atento muy puntuales cumplen con todo lo que ofrecen ,pendientes todo el tiempo de nosotros,el aviario es espectacular mucha diversidad la comida exquisita la familia quedo super contentos
